Remote Island Adopts Dothraki Language

An anonymous reader writes "The tiny island of Tristan da Cunha is officially the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world with few connections to the outside and access only by sea when the notoriously stormy south Atlantic co-operates which is not often. Entertainment options are limited and LARPing in Game of Thrones style has become massively popular, so much so that the islanders have declared Dothraki to be an official language, alongside English."

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's just Welsh.

There's an Easter egg at rot13.com - if you cypher that text it actually gives you the rot13 of "In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming".

As someone who lived on Staten Island most of his life, I can say for certain the native language there is not Dothraki, nor is that commonly spoken there as to know about it you'd have to be able to read. The usual dialect spoken there sounds a lot like "HAYHAYVINNIEMYMAN! Howyadoon,longtimenosee, youan fuckin Joey dont fuckin come out no more!", which is basically the formal way of saying "Hello, I'm about to punch you on the back."

I was pretty let down by Slashdot last year—I mean, no April Fools jokes at all? It couldn't get any worse.

But this year I was impressed, because they proved it could.
